"Your brother is a fucking joke," I hear Miguel say as I exit the room behind Jasper. There is no denying that he wanted the guys far from me—Chase in particular. I don't think that the guys are working in horrible areas; it's just that we all won't see each other like they originally had thought. If anything I am the one still in a place I don't want to be in. Chase will be working directly with his father; surprisingly Tristan was staying on the same floor as me. He is going to working with a lady name Skyla and the other five are going to work with the other CEO, Dr. Rebecca Michaels. According to Jasper, Rebecca was working on something big and the boys would be a perfect fit to help her and the team.

"Charlotte...my office." Jasper stops me in my tracks.

"Uh sure," I look at my desk and make an about-face.

He quietly moves around his office, moving papers to the side before plopping down in his chair. You see Jasper gives off a bad vibe to me or at least a vibe that I know being alone with him just isn't right. I really need to find more about this Lily person. She was his girlfriend that I do know but I feel like there is something I am missing here. My phone chimes.

"Charlotte..." Jasper calls out my name. "Would you like to share?"

"Is everything okay with you?" I take a seat. I can tell something is bothering him. I don't want to put myself in the middle of anyone's business again, but I feel like this is partly my fault. Seeing Chase and him interact today just shows how much bad blood they have between them. If I had a sister I would be devastated if we had a falling out. Raven was the closest thing I had to sibling and her betrayal gutted me.

"Everything is fine," he runs his fingers through his hair once again. He looks distraught more than anything. I can see the pain in his eyes before he closes them. "My brother just couldn't stay away...you are going to leave me for him again aren't you. I get you back and he comes swooping in on you. Lily don't leave me again." He opens his eyes and looks right at me. He is about to cry—oh no I don't do crying.

"Jasper," I walk to his desk, taking a seat. "Jasper...it's me Charlotte. Who's Lily?"

He wipes his eyes and clears his throat. "No one. Sorry about that." He computer pings and he tensed up. I watch him carefully typing away on the keyboard. My phone pings—a notification from TMZ. I normally don't follow the gossip sites, but living in NYC that seems to be the thing and I overheard someone saying working at a magazine you need to know the competition.

So the company is in trouble?

"Charlotte, can you clear my schedule for the rest of the day. Also, Kole Bellinger manager has agreed to the meeting on Monday at his hotel. I will forward you all the information you will need." I look up from my phone to see him sliding on his blazer. Did he see the article too? Of course not. He is too busy of a man to keep up with the gossip sites and blogs. "I will see you Monday afternoon. Have a great weekend."

He doesn't wait for me to respond to anything he just said. He grabs his things and walks briskly out the door. I sit stunned for a few moments before heading to his computer. I want to know what has him moving like a bat out of hell. I move the mouse and the computer screen lights up. I lean forward squinting at the picture on his desktop. Is that me?

"Charlotte."

I jump at the sound of Jasper's voice.

"What are you doing?" he stands in the doorway.

"Uh, nothing. Just making sure you turned off the computer...I am all about saving electricity."

"Thanks, I guess...well come on. I didn't mean to leave you in here by yourself. I always lock my office over the weekends."

"Right." I briskly walk past him and straight to my desk. Well almost to my desk. The guy from Chipotle—I think his name is Xavier, grabs my arms pulling me in what appears to be the supplies closest.

"Have you lost your mind?" I can hear my heart beating in my ears—at a rapid pace.

"No, keep your voice down. You don't want people thinking we are doing something in here do you?" he whispers.

This guy is creepy. Like Law and Order: SVU creepy. I grab the door handle and he stops me from opening the door.

"I will scream bloody murder if you don't let me out." I push his chest as hard as I can and he stumbles back a bit, giving me all the opportunity to escape. I don't look back and speed walk to my desk. How the hell did he manage to get in the building? I need to speak to someone from security. Approaching my desk I see Tristan spinning around in my chair. I am so happy to see him here, Xavier won't try anything—I hope not.

"Ahh, there you are." He stops spinning. "We are calling it a day. The other CEO son wants to take us out for lunch and drinks. You coming or..."

"Yes." I rather be surrounded by all the guys then have to deal with another run in with creepo. "I just have to clear Jasper's schedule. Do you mind waiting with me until I am finished?"

"Sure, but I am not giving up the chair." He shrugs his shoulders. Tristan moves the chair back to giving me space to the computer. I see Xavier walking this way and my heart drops. Why is he so creepy? I look down at the computer typing away, hoping he will just walk on by. Tristan jumps out the chair, making the small distance to Xavier. I'm no longer interested in Jasper's schedule. I am eyeing the two suspiciously talking.

"Charles," Tristan walks back over with him. "This is Xavier Michaels. Dr. Rebecca Michaels' son and the guy who's about to pay one hell of a lunch bill today." He laughs at the last part. "Charles are you okay, you just went pale on me." Tristan looks at me with concern.

"Yeah, I think I am going to check a rain check on lunch. Jasper just sent me some work I need to get done before the end of the day. Tell the guys I'll see them later on tonight." I pull the chair to me and take a seat. I thought I would have to just worry about not getting caught in the lie about being Everett's cousin to finding more about Jasper—now I have to worry about creepo too. One thing is for sure, I am not dealing with him alone. Tonight I will be telling the boys all about Xavier, they will know what to do when it comes to him.

"Are you sure? I am most certainly sure you can let it wait until Monday." Xavier scratches the back of his neck.

"No, I can't. I take my work seriously. I don't have CEO mommy to help me." Way to go...the look on Tristan's face says it all. Either he knows Xavier makes me uncomfortable or he just wasn't expecting me to snap the way I did. Hopefully, he doesn't go with the latter.

"Let's go Xavier," he pulls out his phone typing away. "The guys and I can't wait to have lunch with you." He winks at me, slapping his hand on Xavier's shoulder hard. "Catch you tonight Charles, don't stay here too late."

"I won't. Thank...thank you Tristan." I smile at him and give Xavier a small nod. They walk off and I exhale deeply. I should just walk around with a shirt that says Charlotte the drama magnet. There is no way a person can have this much drama in their life at my age.
